Chapter 316 Take The Blame

“Issa.”

Emrys spotted Larissa from a distance and approached her with a smile, giving her a hug. He said, “I

am the class SSS wanted criminal Theseus was just talking about.”

“What?”

Upon hearing this, Larissa’s eyebrows shot up in anger. She turned to Theseus and asserted, “My

younger brother would never kill someone without reason. You must have done something unjust or

illegal to provoke him into action.”

Younger brother? This audacious young man is actually the younger brother of the chief of Central

Chanaean Martial Arts Alliance?

Theseus and Soren, among others, were immediately stunned.

Monaldo was taken aback for a moment but quickly recovered. He glared fiercely at Theseus, then

laughed and said, “So it’s all a misunderstanding!”

“What misunderstanding? I must seek justice for my brother today! He’s innocent and kind; he

shouldn’t bear this undeserved grievance in vain!”

Larissa’s demeanor was icy cold, showing no regard for Monaldo’s dignity.

True, Emrys had crossed the line during those initial three days at home. He would occasionally barge

into the bathroom under the pretense of an accident while she was relieving herself. She would then

chase him out in embarrassment and anger, warning him to keep his distance from her in the future.

However, at the end of the day, he was still the brother she cherished the most.

Now that he had been wrongfully accused, Larissa had no choice but to step forward and uphold

justice.

This was her responsibility as an older sister.

Only I’m allowed to bully my younger brother. Outsiders are forbidden!

Seeing Larissa’s stubborn attitude, Monaldo could feel a headache brewing.

Just moments ago, they were sitting together, calmly discussing how to deal with the mutant. Yet,

the moment her younger brother’s issue was brought up, she suddenly turned hostile.

The chief of the Central Chanaean Martial Arts Alliance was truly a fanatic when it came to spoiling her

younger brother!

Nevertheless, Monaldo was also protective of his own.

Theseus was his most capable subordinate. Hence, Monaldo would turn a blind eye to many matters

he did, as long as they weren’t too outrageous. Monaldo simply couldn’t be bothered to reprimand him.



The issue at hand was essentially one of playing favoritism during an official tournament. In Monaldo’s

view, this was not a grave mistake. Therefore, after discerning Theseus’ intentions earlier, he chose to

play dumb.

Larissa had her obligations, and he had his.

“Soren, you were in charge of this martial arts tournament, so what exactly happened? Speak

honestly!” Monaldo had no intention of blaming Theseus. Instead, he threw the question at the minister,

Soren.

Soren couldn’t help but feel resigned.

How could he not understand Monaldo’s intentions? He was being set up to take the fall!

Although Soren was inwardly distressed, what could he do? After all, his position was lowly, and

indeed, he was the one who presided over this martial arts tournament.

He could only chalk it up to bad luck.

Soren very tactfully knelt down and said, “Mr. Scarpelli, it was my mistake. I thought that since Travis

was a disciple of Mr. Petrakis, if I could please him, I could leave a good impression in front of Mr.

Petrakis. That’s why I privately gave Travis the pill, which led to the situation escalating.”

“Very well. So it was you, Soren, who was bending the law for personal gain. I, Theseus, have lived a

life of integrity, and I was nearly ruined by you!”

Theseus appeared incredibly angry, yet he inwardly sighed in relief. As expected of my trusted

subordinate. He took the blame for me.



Monaldo, wearing a stern expression, declared, “Soren, now that you have confessed your guilt, I

hereby revoke your position as minister and demote you to the role of a common law-executor. Do you

have any objections?”

“I am willing to accept the punishment!”

However, this was all part of a performance.

In reality, the purpose of this act was for Larissa and Emrys to witness. Once the matter was resolved,

Monaldo would secretly provide Soren with an opportunity to earn merit before promoting him.

This was a well-known tactic employed by their Martial Arts Alliance.

Indeed, Larissa was left speechless by this scene and couldn’t find any grounds for objection.

Monaldo inquired, “Ms. Lockwood, Mr. Lund, are you satisfied with the punishment I have imposed?”
